Many academics experience varying degrees of discomfort or serious problems during their careers.
Several studies have shown that academic staff—especially those on fixed-term contracts—face higher levels of stress, burnout, and risk of developing psychiatric disorders [1, 2, 3].
In line with these findings, surveys conducted among IGMM, CRBM, IRIM, and CEMIPAI revealed that high stress and burnout are mainly linked to work pressure, poor work-life balance, and uncertainty about the future.
If you are facing persistent negativity, stress, or episodes of discrimination or harassment in your lab environment, a dedicated board has been created to guide and support you.

1-Evaluate:
- Your emotional state:
- do you feel negative, stressed, lonely, are you experiencing frequent anxiety, are you willing to get off your bed in the morning ?
- Your work environment:
- Do you face any conflict with your supervisor or your colleagues?
Is it about different scientific views?
Did it turn into violence or harassment? (Check this page)

If you’re experiencing issues with your colleagues or supervisor(s), we will provide a support:
from establishing a conversation with the person, to find a good personal and/or scientific mentor, to take more serious actions involving the University of Montpellier, the syndicate or the CNRS.
Visit the "Our Team" section and contact a member of the mental health committee by email. Please indicate whether you would like your situation to be shared anonymously with the rest of the committee. All committee members keep cases confidential unless you request otherwise or there is an imminant risk of harm.
A good mentor is somebody more experienced than you, who can help you to sort out your next steps in the lab or in your career, or can support you when the moral drops (first time?🥲).
A good mentor will also help you when the relationships with the lab are not ideal.
There are several services put in place by the University of Montpellier, the CNRS or the government to provide psychological and administrative support.
In this section we summarize some tools that can be used by students and non students.
Importantly, there is a section dedicated to emergencies.
